Winthrop vs Auburn Best Picks and Prediction
The Tigers have won 40 straight non-conference games at Neville Arena, including victories against George Mason and South Florida to start the year. This streak started back in 2015.
The offensive performance of the Tigers will only get better, but the defensive effort is encouraging. The Eagles have trouble defending the three-point line through three games, and they lack the athleticism to really trouble the Tigers. This seems to be the moment where the Tigers can, for the first time this year, establish an attacking rhythm. I'll wager any amount with the Tigers here.
Pick: Tigers -18.5 (-110)
